My recommendation always has been, just about always will be Canon Powershot SD series. I've got an SD600 that's been flawless, my girlfriend has one, my mom has an SD200, and everyone who's bought one, loves them. They're small, portable, and take pretty darn good pictures for a point and shoot.

Back when most Digis maxed out at 3.2 mega pixels; I picked up an HP for 40 bucks at a pawnshop. I still use it, but I really want a digital SLR.

You may have to look for a while but check out your town's pawnshops. They always seem to be good for these sorts of consumer electronics.

I bought my daughter a Kodak EasyShare C613 for Christmas and it's been a pretty good camera. It was around $99 IIRC and I think it's 6.2 mp.

Go with the Canon like TPLyons said.

I can't say enough good things about my Canon Powershot SD1000. Very user friendly, takes excellent pictures, and it even has a viewfinder. Oh yeah, the LCD is really crisp compared to other similar cameras I've seen.

Get a Canon Powershot.

Very nice. Canon has some great IS cameras.

Yep - my SD550 was lost in durka-durkastan very recently, and I just bought a Canon G9 - VERY sweet camera!

The uber/geek in me wanted to go with a G range range camera. But I really wanted a pocket camera.

Cool Choice.. Those looked nice.

I've got a Canon - ditto to those above !

Check your local Ritz Camera Brick & Mortar. They are blowing out last year's cameras at clearance prices. I just got a Nikon Coolpix for well under half the original MSRP. All else being equal I would recommend Canon as well.

I've wanted a G9 since they came out. Great choice.

I haven't tried it on my 720IS yet but it looks sweet. Only for Powershot models though.
